高科技口罩能防病毒，還能翻譯多國語言

高科技口罩的出現(xiàn)只是時間問題。

Japanese company Donut Robotics has developed a face mask with "smart" capabilities, including the ability to translate what the wearer is saying into eight different languages.

日本公司“甜甜圈機器人”研發(fā)出了一種智能口罩，可以將佩戴者說的話翻譯成8種不同語言。

The C-FACE Smart Mask still protects from the spread of COVID-19, but can also translate the wearer's speech from Japanese into Vietnamese, English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, and French.

這款名為C-FACE的智能口罩不但可以用來防護(hù)新冠病毒，而且可以將佩戴者說的話從日語翻譯成越南語、英語、西班牙語、漢語、韓語、泰語、印尼語和法語。

It works by connecting to a smartphone app via Bluetooth to translate the words into text messages and can also dictate speech and make calls.

這款口罩通過藍(lán)牙和智能手機應(yīng)用連接，將文字翻譯成文本信息，還可以語音聽寫和打電話。

Taisuke Ono, chief executive of Donut Robotics, said, "We worked hard for years to develop a robot and we have used that technology to create a product that responds to how the coronavirus has reshaped society."

甜甜圈機器人公司的首席執(zhí)行官大野大介說：“經(jīng)過多年的努力，我們研發(fā)出了一款機器人，我們運用該技術(shù)發(fā)明了一款可以應(yīng)對疫情后社會形勢的產(chǎn)品。”

The white plastic face mask was developed as the company searched for a product to help them survive the pandemic. When the pandemic struck Donut Robotics had finalized a deal to supply robot guides and translators to Tokyo's Haneda Airport, but this deal remains up in the air.

該公司在尋找一款可以助其渡過疫情難關(guān)的產(chǎn)品，于是就研發(fā)了這款白色塑料口罩。當(dāng)疫情來襲時，甜甜圈機器人公司已經(jīng)達(dá)成了一筆為東京羽田機場供應(yīng)機器人向?qū)Ш头g的交易，但目前這一交易還未落實。

Estimated to cost $40 per mask, the first 5,000 masks will be available to Japanese buyers in September before expanding to China, the US, and Europe, too.

這款口罩單價預(yù)計是40美元(約合人民幣280元)，首批5000個口罩將于九月份在日本上市，然后再推向中國、美國和歐洲市場。
